What does NALIP mean? National Association of Latino Independent Producers
What is the purpose of NALIP? The National Association of Latino Independent Producers (NALIP) is a national membership organization that addresses the professional needs of Latino/Latina independent producers. Since founding in 1999, NALIP has held five national Conferences, developed local chapters, plus hosted many regional workshops and networking events that develop the professional skills of film, television, documentary and new media makers. In 2003, we stepped into three new National Initiatives: a Latino Writer's Lab, a Latino Producers Academy™ and this published/on-line Latino Media Resource Guide™.
NALIP's mission is to promote the advancement, development and funding of Latino/Latina film and media arts in all genres. NALIP is the only national organization committed to supporting both grassroots and community-based producers/media makers along with publicly funded and industry-based producers.
NALIP's values are:
* Commitment to Latino/Latina media and filmmakers, regardless of the form or content of their work
* Commitment to respect for diversity based on a code of ethics open to and respectful of differences, including gender, geography, color, class, age, ethnicity, language, sexuality, religion, genre or physical abilities.
* Commitment to solidarity and accountability, applying our code of ethics to the selection, funding and mentoring process
* Commitment to raise the question of historical and cultural relevance and awareness of Latinos and Latinas
* Commitment to solidarity, alliance building and multiple visions of Latina/Latino experiences within the local, national, international and global context.
